REGINA - Swedens quest for gold got off to a roaring start on Saturday. Jerod Mayo Authentic Jersey . Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson had a goal and four assists to help Sweden stomp the Czech Republic 10-1 in the opening Group B game of the world junior hockey championship. Paajarvi-Svensson wasnt sure what his point total was by the end of the game. "I dont know. I heard five points and six points and four points," he said with a laugh. "We just have to be consistent. Ten to one says a lot but the Czechs are good, you can never underestimate them." Swedish coach Par Marts said the blowout was a nice way to start the tournament but still sees room for improvement. "Of course Im happy but I think we can play much better," Marts said, adding that his team needs to make better, longer passes and stay more focused. "Weve had some close opening games before. Of course it was good to win but 10-1 is too much. We took some shots and the puck went in. We have to play harder for scores. Its going to be tough games." Sweden, with 18 NHL draftees on its roster, did most of its damage with four goals in the first and another four in the third. Ottawa Senators pick Andre Petersson, Anton Rodin (Vancouver Canucks), Mattias Tedenby (New Jersey Devils) and Anton Lander (Edmonton Oilers) all scored in the first. Oliver Ekman Larsson (Phoenix Coyotes), Paajarvi-Svensson (Edmonton Oilers), Tim Erixon and Petersson picked up assists. The Czechs entered the game with a respectable 1-2 pre-competition record after a shootout win over the United States on Tuesday and a close 3-2 loss against Canada the next night. The Czechs relied on solid goaltending in both games, with Jakub Sedlacek making 42 stops (plus three in the shootout) against the Americans and Pavel Francouz nearly stealing the game against Canada with 30 saves. But Sedlacek struggled in this game and was replaced by Francouz at the end of the first. Francouz pleased the 5,191 fans at the Brandt Centre with several sensational saves throughout the night but allowed another six goals. Striking in the second for Sweden was Paajarvi-Svensson, and Atlanta Thrasher draft pick Carl Klingberg, while Erixon and Petersson picked up their second assists of the night. The Czech Republic finally managed to get on the board five minutes into the second when five-foot-eight winger Jan Kana beat Florida panther draft pick Jacob Markstrom after a nice feed from Tomas Knotek. Tomas Vincour of the Edmonton Oil Kings, a Dallas Stars draft pick, also assisted on the goal. "We played good but we couldnt score goals. We have many scoring chances but didnt score," said the undrafted Kana, who was named the player of the game in this game as well as the Czechs last pre-competition game against Canada. Swedens four third-period goals came from Erixon with a slapshot from the point, Lander with his second of the night, Ottawa Senators pick Jakob Silfverberg and Adam Larsson. Paajarvi-Svensson, Swedens player of the game, assisted on Larssons goal for his third of the night. Markstrom made 20 stops for Sweden for the win while Sedlacek and Francouz faced a combined 46 shots from the Swedes. Kenny Phillips Jersey . Marcum retired the first six batters he faced and allowed only Alexei Ramirezs single leading off the third. He struck out two.

Lars Lagerback was hired by Nigeria less than four months before the World Cup and wants to make an impact after failing to get Sweden to the championship, South Korea coach Huh Jung-moo is out to show that a homegrown coach can follow the lead of Guus Hiddink, who guided the team to the semifinals in 2002, and Otto Rehhagel led Greece to a surprise title at the 2004 European Championship. But of the four, it is Maradona who will dominate the headlines, especially after struggling to qualify Argentina for the 32-team tournament. If the two-time champions fail to hit any form, then this group could be wide open. Maradona is one of the games greatest players, but he has yet to convince the watching world that he can make it as a coach. The diminutive Argentine will get an early chance to prove himself at the World Cup when his team faces Nigeria on the second day of competition. That game is at altitude at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, and it will be interesting to see how prepares his team. When Maradona took a risk by playing a qualifying game at Bolivia by flying his team there two hours before kickoff, Argentina lost 6-1. Even though Maradona dropped playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme, he has quality players such as Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Gonzalo Higuain, Juan Sebastian Veron and Javier Mascherano. Under Maradonas leaadership, however, Argentina is hard to predict and that gives Nigeria, South Korea and Greece plenty of hope to finish in the top two and advance to the second round. Hakeem Nicks Youth Jersey. Like Maradona, Lagerback has a wealth of talented players in the Nigeria squad -- John Obi Mikel, Obafemi Martins, Nwankwo Kanu, Joseph Yobo and Ayegbeni Yakubu have played at the highest level in European leagues and have plenty of experience. Lagerback took over from Shaibu Amodu, who was fired after the team finished third at the African Cup of Nations, and is out to show he still has the ability to blend them into a team. While Argentina and Nigeria play their first game at altitude, the South Koreans and the Greeks meet at sea level on the coast at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in Port Elizabeth. Park Ji-sungs return to form with Manchester United after a long injury layoff has boosted South Koreas hopes of making a mark even though repeating its semifinal appearance on home turf eight years ago may be too much to hope for. Greece qualified under veteran coach Rehhagel with Fanis Gekas top-scoring in European World Cup qualifying with 10 goals. Although the 71-year-old German failed to get the Greeks to the last championship in his homeland four years ago, the Greeks go into their second World Cup with optimism and hopes of a better performance than in 1994. Back then, they lost all three group games without scoring a goal, including 2-0 to Nigeria and 4-0 to Argentina, with Maradona scoring. ' ' '
